Pros

The compensation is competitive and the experience gained in exceptional.

Cons

AMR is a lifestyle. You become part of a group that is expected to give a lot for very little in return and there will almost never be any kind of "Thank you". Compensation is competitive by position title but employees are expected to do much more than their job description and title calls for on a daily basis. When they fire or lay off, they dump those responsibilities on remaining employees without adjusting compensation. Employees are treated as though their opinions don't matter or could'nt possibly be intelligent enough to support growth in the organization. Management treats everything as a big secret and yet once the secret is revealed, your left wondering why, any of it had to be a secret. If you know too much you are phased out of the company not utilized. If you try to do the right thing, you are looked down upon. There is a significant amount of harassment (even sexual) by management especially at the General Manager level and those that perpetrate are typically either protected or given chances that the rest of us wouldn't. Investigations are always one sided unless corporate comes in and then everyone gets threatened not to talk. Employees who simply exist or have poor performance are protected and those that excel are looked down upon and even fired or laid off. Several members of mid level management are offensive and degrading and yet no one seems to understand why everyone wants to leave.

Pros

AMR is a place to utilize as a "stepping stone" to further ones knowledge in EMS and Healthcare. The pay is comporable to other companies within the industry.

Cons

AMR is a Company run by management in Denver who do not have a clue as to what goes on in the day to day operations of individual sites. Since the pay is good, most employees remain but are totally burnt out from the stress, shortstaffing, antiquated equipment, verbal abuse by management etc. Sexism runs rampid, if you are a male with sexual harrassment charges on file you are promoted to General Manager. There are very few females in management and those that are are treated inappropriately, degraded and have no voice when it comes to decision making. Employees are extremely unhappy as there is no avenue to speak with someone other than local management. AMR does provide a hotline for employees to report issues but once reported the investigation is conducted by the local management, the same people that the employee reported. All shifts are run short staffed and an enormous amount of stress is placed on the employees while they are handling life threatening emergencies. Hiring practices consist of the male Managers "checking out" the applicant. Certifications although required are waived depending on the "looks" of the applicant. Service is compromised by managements egos on a daily basis, response times to emergencies are horrible, the Communications Centers have many unqualified dispatchers who make daily errors in judgement, EMT's and Paramedics have bad attitudes due to the workplace and the list goes on.

Pros

Being able to help people. And perform as a paramedic for 911

Cons

Mandatory insane over time. Making you work 36 hours with no sleep. Threatening to write you up or fire you if you call off or refuse to work more than 30 hours with no sleep. Will curse you out on the phone. Overtime. Don’t care about you. No growth. Will work you everyday of the month.
